Acoustic neuromas, also known as vestibular schwannomas, are noncancerous tumors that develop on the main nerve leading from the inner ear to the brain. These tumors usually grow slowly and may not cause symptoms initially. However, as they enlarge, they can press on the nearby nerves, leading to symptoms such as hearing loss, tinnitus, dizziness, and balance problems. Treatment options for acoustic neuromas include observation, radiation therapy, and surgical removal, depending on the size and symptoms of the tumor. Early detection and management are crucial for better outcomes in patients with acoustic neuromas.
